Outside In

My work is rooted in family. But it is a family with a long and complicated history. As my name suggests, I am a mix of African and Welsh, but this masks an even richer blend of peoples and cultures that I try to bring into my pictures.

My family has been characterised by very strong women – that inner strength often surfacing in a marked hirsutism – and a tendency to flirt in the face of convention. They include the successful, the dilettante and the often plain unfortunate whose progress spanned three continents (Africa, Europe and the Americas) in a pre and post-colonial history that involved sorcery, slavery, and slave trading.
